São Tomé e Príncipe Travel Guide - Getting Around

 

 


By AirGetting Around by Air

There is no national airline but the islands can be reached with TAP Portugal (website: www.flytap.com). Panoramic and charter flights are also available.

By BoatGetting Around by Water

A limited ferry service operates between São Tomé and Príncipe.

By CarGetting Around by Road

Traffic drives on the right. There are over 380km (236 miles) of roads, although in general these are deteriorating. Some of them are asphalted around São Tomé town, but 4-wheel drive vehicles are necessary to get further afield: animals on the road and potholes may cause problems. There is street lighting only in the capital.

Bus/taxi: There is a bus network and yellow share taxis are also in operation. The only public transport on Príncipe is a minibus.

Car hire: Can be arranged through the Miramar Hotel in the capital.

Documentation: An International Driving Permit is not legally required but is recommended.
